Watch the Star-Studded Webby Awards

Kevin Spacey, Jerry Seinfeld and Fred Armisen were among the celebrities who graced the Webby Awards stage Tuesday night. The ceremony, which honored the best of the Internet (Grumpy Cat included), will be available to watch May 22 at 9 a.m. ET.

Tune into the festivities on YouTube and flip through our gallery of red carpet and ceremony photos (below) to catch glimpses of the star-studded event, which required award recipients to limit their acceptance speeches to five words.

"The Oscars should do this," quipped Spacey while accepting a special achievement award for Netflix's popular House of Cards series.

Spoiler alert: The web's A-listers created some of the ceremony's most memorable moments. Tumblr CEO David Karp laughed as host Patton Oswalt grabbed his butt cheeks, Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington talked about farting, GIF inventor Steve Wilhite confirmed GIF is pronounced as "JIF" and Grumpy Cat won Meme of the Year (but didn't appear, likely because she wasn't in the mood).

Web series Burning Love's Ben Stiller and the Mars Curiosity Rover social media team also helped celebrate the Internet. Meanwhile, the Webbys paid tribute to late Internet pioneer Aaron Swartz with a recap video of his career, speech by best friend Ben Wikler and short, heartfelt words from Swartz's dad, Robert.

"We miss him terribly, but his work still lives," Wikler said.

Mashable interviewed many of the high-profile attendees in its social media booth on the red carpet and watched the action inside the ceremony. Here's a visual roundup.

4. Watch Your Ass, David Karp!

Host Patton Oswalt grabs Tumblr CEO David Karp's buttcheeks -- or as the Webbys put it, Oswalt was rifling through Karp’s pockets, "presumably in search of a small piece of his newly found fortune."
